Ashford Parliamentary Constituency
Now covering the Folkestone & Hythe District Council wards of North Downs East and North Downs West
New boundaries for the 2024 General Election.
About Ashford Constituency
From the 2024 General Election, the Parliamentary Constituency of Ashford will (pretty ridiculously, in our opinion) include the District of Folkestone and Hythe wards of North Downs East and North Downs West, in addtion to the Ashford Borough Council seats of:
Aylesford & East Stour, Beaver, Bircholt, Bockhanger, Bybrook, Conningbrook & Little Burton Farm, Furley, Goat Lees, Godinton, Highfield, Kennington, Mersham, Sevington South with Finberry, Norman, Park Farm North, Park Farm South, Repton, Roman, Singleton East, Singleton West, Stanhope, Victoria, Washford, Willesborough, Wye with Hinxhill.
The Ashford seat therefore stretches pretty much to the coast, across an area that in no way could be called Ashford: Ashford and North Downs, maybe.
Kent, Great Essex and East Sussex Local Enterprise Partnership: Where did THAT come from?
The Government has announced that it has asked a new Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) covering "Kent, Great Essex and East Sussex" to come forward with firm proposals as one of 24 bids asked to progress their bids today. Kent County Council Tim Prater has expressed surprise that the proposals for a Kent and Medway LEP favoured by many local Councils and an Kent and Essex LEP promoted by Kent County Council Leader Paul Carter seem to have been rejected for the three county "Super-LEP".

Cable announces £1.3bn funding package for Post Office
"The package averages out at over £330m a year - more than double the subsidy paid to the Post Office for the past two years. A large proportion of the last Government's funding was spent on closing post offices. Our strategy is completely different - it addresses the underlying economics of the network, while maintaining its size and reach."
